Skillfully guided from design through each step of the production process you will learn how to work silver into wearable art. Five (5) grams of silver is included in the price and is sufficient to create a pair of earrings, a ring or a pendant. This is a one of a kind creative experience. Silver jewelry making, like most old crafts in Bali, is a family affair. Gusti Ayu was taught to make silver jewelry by her father and her older brother. From the early age of 9 she was allowed to polish the silver pieces her family was creating for sale in America and Australia. In Bali, the jeweler’s practiced eye and steady hand is developed over time by children helping their families after school. When you watch Ayu handle the tools and manipulate the silver that will become your personalized silver jewelry you’ll appreciate the years of patient learning that silver jewelry-making entails. Take a half day for Ayu to introduce you to this special realm of art-making. Bring your jewelry ideas to Ayu and she will help you to craft your idea into a wearable piece of silver jewelry. In a few short hours one can sample the jeweler’s craft as both you and Ayu work together to work new silver into a polished art piece. It’s fun, it’s a challenge and a terrific way to spend your leisure time in Bali. We have two slots everyday, a morning slot and an afternoon slot:</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Handmade]]></category> <link>http://susand-design.com/Handmade/make-your-own-silver-jewelry</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://susand-design.com/Handmade/make-your-own-silver-jewelry</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Feb 2021 16:22:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Copper Clay</title> <description>Welcome to the fabulous world of Metal Clay!

Working with Metal Clay always adds an element of anticipation and excitement. It is a visual and physical transformation from pliable organic to hard metal. Witnessing the metamorphosis from "clay" to fine silver, gold, copper or bronze, is awe-inspiring! We encourage you to start making beautiful jewellery with professional results. Metal Clay Australasia offers the biggest selection of Metal Clays in Australia, this includes Precious Metal Clay (PMC), the brand new strong and durable PMC Pro plus Art Clay Silver, BRONZclay, COPPRclay, FASTfire BRONZclay, Art Clay Copper We are delighted to announce that HADAR JACOBSON's NEW Quick Fire Clays have arrived. We stock all of the tools, materials, books, DVD's and information sheets to get you started. We hope that Metal Clay will open up a new world of creative opportunities for you. Aida Chemical Industries and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation are Japanese companies that recycle and reclaim metals. These recycled metals include the precious metals Silver and Gold. Aida Chemical Industries manufacture Art Clay Silver and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation manufacture PMC or Precious Metal Clay. Patents were then obtained by these companies for the manufacturing process of these amazing metal clay products. The clay/lump, paste/slip and syringe types were introduced to Japan in the early 90's. Books and other accompanying materials were developed and in the mid 90's, Metal Clay - Silver and Gold were officially introduced to the general public in Japan and thereafter the world. There are many thousands of Metal Clay instructors and Metal Clay Studios all over the world.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Jewelry Sets]]></category> <link>http://susand-design.com/JewelrySets/copper-clay</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://susand-design.com/JewelrySets/copper-clay</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 23 Jan 2021 16:00:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Metal Clay 3D Printer</title> <description>Affordable metal 3D printing seems like the Holy Grail of additive manufacturing.

The ability to print items with metal, on the fly, at prices which don’t break the bank could be a boon for several key markets, like that of the jewelry market. The problem though, is that most printers which fabricate metal objects cost upwards of $1 million, typically out of reach for most small businesses and hobbyists. Way back in November of 2013, Pueblo Colorado-based Mini Metal Maker launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for one of the most innovative metal 3D printers we have seen to date. Called the Mini Metal Maker, the printer relied on metal clays and a kiln to produce objects from a variety of metal materials. After raising in excess of $34, 000, having numerous issues which needed to be resolved, and over 15 months of work, the company has shipped out the initial units to backers of that first Inidegogo campaign. Today they’ve decided to announced the launch of a second Indiegogo camapaign. This time around, they want to move the company out of their garage and into a full-scale production facility. They are seeking a total of 0, 000, which will be used to move to this new facility, develop new software to more intuitively run the machines, purchase tools and machinery for production, and deal with the various licensing issues required to produce these 3D printers. The printer, which is incredibly sleek, functions in a similar way to a Cartesian-based FDM machine. The only real difference is that instead of thermoplastic filaments, the Mini Metal Maker uses metal clays which users will be able to purchase on the company’s website in 50g cartridges, thanks to a partnership with Metal Adventures. Once an object is printed, it must be allowed to air-dry before being placed into a kiln at 1550˚F(600˚C-900˚C). The intense heat burns the binder material of the clay away, leaving only the metal particles which then fuse together becoming one solid object. Below are a few of the general specifications for this machine: Printer Weight: 10lbs Build Envelope: 8 x 8 x 8 cm Extrusion resolution: 250 micron XY resolution: 10 microns Z resolution: 2 microns Connectivity: USB port Priced at just $2, 100, this machine falls into a category of metal 3D printers which actually doesn’t even exist yet. If the machine works like the company claims, it could certainly be a game changer for hobbyists as well as many businesses, small and large. The first units are expected ship sometime in October whether the company meets their $150, 000 Indiegogo goal or not.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Metal Clay]]></category> <link>http://susand-design.com/MetalClay/metal-clay-3d-printer</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://susand-design.com/MetalClay/metal-clay-3d-printer</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 24 Dec 2020 15:43:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>PMC Pendants</title> <description>Plastic place mat mat board acrylic brayer (or small section of PVC pipe or dowel) rubber stamps small round bottle caps razor blade (or exacto knife) skewer emery board PMC is fired in a kiln.

PMC+ and PMC3 were developed with lower firing temps so it can be fired with a torch. Since I don't have a kiln, this is what I opted to use and it worked like a dream. Tools: butane torch (Home Depot) butane fuel fire brick (a brickyard) boiled egg Ziplock bag fine sandpaper Roll out the PMC+ between 2 pieces of mat board or two piles of several playing cards on a plastic place mat. This insures that the clay is a uniform size and the right thickness for a piece of jewelry. Rub a little oil on the surface of the clay and stamp with rubber stamps. (mine just happen to be unmounted, but mounted work as well) Cut out the pendants with small caps. The clay will shrink, but only about 10% so keep that in mind when choosing the size of the cutter. Carefully remove the excess clay with a razor blade. (the left over clay can be rehydrated with water and used again) Poke a hole in the top of each circle with a skewer. Allow the clay to dry completely. The dried circles will easily pop off the placemat. Turn them over and allow the backs to dry. This size took about 4 hours to dry. You can hurry this with a hair dryer. After the pieces are completely dry, clean up the edges and any blobs by sanding with an emery board. Fire in a dimly lit room. I positioned myself between the light and the clay to cast a shadow. Working on one pendant at a time, heat the clay on a fire brick. Keep the flame moving and about 1 1/2" away from the piece. The clay will emit a small flame. When the clay begins to glow a peachy orange (only visible in dim light), begin to time your firing. Fire for one minute. Allow to cool. If you fire from the back of the piece, you won't damage the front if it starts to melt. If the pendant begins to melt, back the flame away a bit. You can tell if it is melting because the piece will bubble and get shiny. Fully fired clay will be white. Scrub it with a brass wire brush to remove the residue. The above photo shows the before and after; the large circle has not been brushed, the smaller one has. Here is the fired and wire brushed circle. Boil an egg and while it is still hot place it in a larger size zip lock bag. Break the egg to expose the yolk which is the part of the egg that causes the patina. Place your silver pieces into the bag but don't let it touch the egg. (Why? I don't know) Here is the pendant after about 3 hours. Lightly sand the pendant with fine sandpaper to remove the dark patina on the surface and allow the dark indentions to show up. Add a jump ring and hang it from a wire or chain. No one will have any idea that you made this in your kitchen with a creme brulee torch.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Jewelry Sets]]></category> <link>http://susand-design.com/JewelrySets/pmc-pendants</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://susand-design.com/JewelrySets/pmc-pendants</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2020 15:39:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Best Websites to Buy Jewellery in India</title> <description>Fashionable image of a modern woman is made up of many elements, starting from a luxury designers dresses and high heels to a glamorous makeup and aromatic perfumes.

We also demonstrate the series of inter-related engineering processes and equipment that we used to make these demanding parts. This project is an excellent example of how we work with customers to help them to turn their great idea into production reality, and to lower the entry barrier to metal AM. These entry barriers can be partly due to price - a first AM installation is a significant investment - but for many firms the biggest issues are knowledge and confidence. When developing any new product, or deploying a new production technology, you need to go through a series of confidence-building steps and milestones. This may start with a conceptual design, proof of concept, product & process validation, and then move on to establishing process capability, finishing processes, and scaling up for production. Our global network of Solutions Centres, opening over the next year, provide venues in which this AM adoption process can be accelerated. We can give companies cost-effective, hands-on experience of metal AM, combined with application engineering support to optimise their design, and post-processing capabilities to ensure that it performs as it should.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Handmade]]></category> <link>http://susand-design.com/Handmade/making-metal</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://susand-design.com/Handmade/making-metal</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Jul 2020 14:30:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Chains.
